Sir Charles wants to be GM...
Charles Barkley, the Hall of Fame player and current TNT analyst said earlier this week he'd like to have a crack at running an NBA team, though he's in no rush because he'd want the right job.

Barkley has seen some of his contemporaries try and fail as team executives. Isiah Thomas was fired after a horrible tenure running the New York Knicks, and even Michael Jordan, Barkley's good friend, is regularly criticized for his inability to build a winner in Washington and Charlotte.Nevertheless, Barkley said he's not worried about becoming another guy getting blasted on the air.
"I want that challenge, and honestly, this business, it ain't brain surgery," he said.
He would be a breath of fresh air as GM...and stir up the likes of Cuban and Co.
